The above are all safe, so far as
known. On the ice below the
bridge site are twenty-six charre6
and unacceptable bodies. Many
more were doubtless cremated. The
Central Vermont Railroad officials ar
rived at the scene of the disaster at an
early hour, and are doing everything
possible to relieve the sufferers. No
less than ten physicians were in attend
ance on the wounded before 9o'cloek
this morning.
Mr.. Mccarthy, who went out on
relief train and looked over the track,
says that the broken rail was about
twenty rods from the bridge, and that
the engine and first two cars did
not leave the iron. The baggage
and mail cars were preserved intact !
One man died soon after being carried
into the mail car. Mr.. Mccarthy saw a |
man with the little child in his arms on |
the bank of the river and both dead. a |
woman's body was lying on the sn&g |
and kind persons had covered it with |
what spare clothing they could procure.
Soon after there was sufficient to help |
her to the hotel. She was badly hurt, |
but is still alive. As soon as the flames |
had subsidized sufficiently, the work OF
RECOVERING THE BODIES
from the wreck was begun. Most Of
the remains are so char ed as to be I'M
recognizable. The body of Pull
man Conductor Burgess was one of
not badly mutiIated. The remains of
fed by his clothing and a watch. The
body of A. L. Nesson, son of the we'll
kNown arms manufacturer of Spring
field, was identified tonight by friends
from his home. In the pocket of blue
dress coat was found letter written
upon the letterhead of G. w. Sanford,
agent of the MoIie Nerve Food Com
panv, dated Washington, and addressed
to Dear Charles" The BODY of the
owner is supposed to have been en-
tirely destroyed, and is supposed i
by travelling men to have been
that of Charles w. Sanford, for
merly in the employ of i. G. Chase
& Co. of Boston. A coat belonging to
Chas. A. Hubbard, OF Boston, was
found. Most of the bodies recovered
we're taken to the village of Hartford I
and placed in an undertaker's estab- {
ishment. Thirty-nine bodes in all
have been taken out OF the wreck, and
only five of this number are in any !
manner recognizable. 1t will be impos- !,
'ible to tell how many were on the
rain, as the conductor had only begun .,

Many bodies have probably gone into

At this hOur-midnight-thirty-

IN THE WRECK OR UNDER THE ICE

we're killed cannot be ascertained, 3
While there exists so much uncertainty

t least twenty bodies are in the debris. a

Ip to over sixty. b
This Will notinclude those which may
ave been carried into the river
trough the ice. The latest computa-
ion as to the number OF persons on the
rain places it at over 100. When the
asst car on the ice is overhauled to-
morrow, and further Identification
axes place, a more complete list of the
llIed will be obtainable, although
core of bodies already recovered are

urned so as 60 preclude any possibility

ivors will probably die of their wounds.
